  • The city of Raqqa symbolises the tragic fate of Syria over the past 12 years. From the start of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in 2011, the northern city was a major target for rebel groups. It then became the stronghold of Islamic State group terrorists, who made Raqqa the capital of their self-proclaimed caliphate. The city went through three years of hell - suffering atrocities, public hangings and slave auctions - before being bombed and then liberated in 2017 by an international US-led coalition. Since then, the "Pearl of the Euphrates" has struggled to get back on track.

    that was awful translation. insanely misleading translation. why are you making it seem like they're putting children to work? that father said he brings his child to work because he can't go to school and can't be left alone at home. they're not putting children to labor; they're bringing them to work to keep an eye on them. the child didn't say "it's more important to work" he said "i don't want to be left home alone, so it's better to come with my dad to work"

    Why would they rebuild the city wall when most housing and infrastructure is still damaged? Not really a priority unless they think it could somehow attract tourists.

    When people talk about the rule by any Islamic State group, they mean ISLAM as the rule. While some people in Syria and in other countries ruled by ISLAM, I am starting to understand that myself when learning about religions and their roles they play in the last days.
